  • 1.1 Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus Elaphus Nelsoni)
    1.1 Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) SPECIES NAME: Rocky mountain elk SCIENTIFIC NAME: Cervus elaphus nelsoni SPECIES CODES: M-CEEL STATUS: Not at risk (MELP, 1997; COSEWIC, 1998) DISTRIBUTION Provincial Range Rocky Mountain elk primarily occur in the Kootenays, the lower Peace River area and the Muskwa-Prophet River drainages on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. Although Rocky Mountain elk were historically abundant and widely distributed in the Cariboo-Chilcotin and Thompson-Nicola areas, elk declined for unknown reasons and today only small, widely scattered herds remain in these areas. Provincial Benchmark Ecoprovince: Northern Boreal Mountains Ecoregion: Northern Mountains and Plateaus and Northern Canadian Rocky Mountains Ecosection: Muskwa Foothils (MUF) Biogeoclimatic zone: SWBmk Broad Ecosystem Units: SM - Subalpine Meadow Project Study Area Ecoprovince: Northern Boreal Mountains Ecoregion: Northern Mountains and Plateaus and Northern Canadian Rocky Mountains Ecosection: Cassiar Ranges (CAR), Western Muskwa Ranges (WMR), Eastern Muskwa Ranges (EMR) and Missinchninka Ranges (MIR) Biogeoclimatic zone: BWBSdk1, SWBmk1, ESSFmv4, SWBmks1, ESSFmvp4 and AT Elevational range: Valley bottom to alpine The Akie and Pesika River drainages contain small populations of elk (Wood, 1994; Hatler, 1990; Wood, pers. comm.). The summer population is larger due to seasonal migrations from the Muskwa/Prophet river drainages and other adjacent areas (Wood, pers. comm.). Hatler (1990) and Wildlife Branch (1990b) found 22 and 19 elk respectively wintering in the upper Akie River drainage. A small population of elk reside along the Ingenika River. In 1996, 50 elk were transplanted into this area to supplement the original population of 20 to 30. The population is currently estimated at 40 to 50 individuals (Wood, pers.

  • Muskwa-Kechika Expedition and Camps 2021
    Muskwa-Kechika Expedition and Camps 2021 General Information The Muskwa-Kechika Management Area (M-KMA) encompasses a vast wilderness in BC’s northern Rocky Mountains. Teeming with wildlife, it is a vestige of the continental wilderness that once existed. MK Adventures has been leading expeditions into the remotest regions of the MK as part of an effort to protect this magnificent area for decades. You have an opportunity to become one of five participants on each expedition, where you will experience the ride of your life - a rewarding and full-on challenge for both the mind and body. MK Adventures 2021 Expedition Lineup - a year of changes In 2021 we will set off from from the Alaska Highway on June 15 and return on Sept 4. Detailed info is below. Wayne is turning 65 this fall, and while he feels as strong as ever, there comes a time when one has to dial back some of the more rigorous tasks. As a result he will be stepping back from the two week Expeditions, but will ride the Gatho Exploration Expedition, June 28 -July 12, and our Mayfield Experiences, July 26 - August 13. Alex and Michelle have been key members of the operation for a decade now, and in addition to leading the Muskwa-Kechika Adventures PO Box 27, Rolla BC, V0C 2G0 (250) 261-1513 email [email protected], Hit www.go2mk.ca Page 1 Expeditions in 2021 are planning to take over the reins from MK Adventures permanently. We will see what the future holds! Another change we have made for 2021 is to lower the number of guest riders from six or seven per trip down to five.

  • Fish 2002 Tec Doc Draft3
    BRITISH COLUMBIA MINISTRY OF WATER, LAND AND AIR PROTECTION - 2002 Environmental Indicator: Fish in British Columbia Primary Indicator: Conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks rated as healthy, of conservation concern, and of extreme conservation concern. Selection of the Indicator: The conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks is a state or condition indicator. It provides a direct measure of the condition of British Columbia’s Steelhead stocks. Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are highly valued by recreational anglers and play a locally important role in First Nations ceremonial, social and food fisheries. Because Steelhead Trout use both freshwater and marine ecosystems at different periods in their life cycle, it is difficult to separate effects of freshwater and marine habitat quality and freshwater and marine harvest mortality. Recent delcines, however, in southern stocks have been attributed to environmental change, rather than over-fishing because many of these stocks are not significantly harvested by sport or commercial fisheries. With respect to conseration risk, if a stock is over fished, it is designated as being of ‘conservation concern’. The term ‘extreme conservation concern’ is applied to stock if there is a probablity that the stock could be extirpated. Data and Sources: Table 1.
